The hyper-flexible Volkswagen MQB platform has seen the Volkswagen Group maximise its brand connections with a shared modular chassis designed for streamlined assembly, covering everything from the Audi A1 and VW MK7/MK8 Golf to the Skoda Octavia, as used by some emergency services.
It’s a platform that caters to many different uses, and a popular request has been for the inclusion of some rear camber adjustability, whether for its handling benefits or to assist with wheel alignment and tyre wear when carrying extra weight.
PFR85-513G Rear Upper Wishbone Outer Bush is a camber adjustable version of our existing PFR85-513 Rear Wishbone Outer Bush for a variety of VAG models.
Made in our Black 95A durometer material and supplied with a CNC-machined offset-bore sleeve and adjusting spanner, it offers a range of up to +/- 1.0° of on-car camber adjustment at the rear suspension knuckle.
Adding or taking away camber at the rear of a vehicle can have several benefits. Increasing negative camber (bringing the top of the wheel inwards) will increase the contact made by the tyre with the road/track when cornering, thus increasing grip for improved handling and adding positive camber (bringing the top of the wheel outwards) can neutralise the effects of carrying a lot of weight in the vehicle by straightening the wheel to improve tyre wear.
Either way, we’ve got it covered!
